It's very nice. However Syrians will choose where to nest and it may not always be in what you've provided! Generally they will choose something that mimics a burrow - dark inside with enough space to build a good cosy nest. I once provided a nice house which was ignored - hamster decided it wasn't big enough or dark enough. Provided a bigger one with a bendy bridge tunnel over the door and he moved straight in.

Personally I think the desert log thing is a great floor toy in a cage (providing that hole is big enough - needs to be at least 6cm diameter) but I would stick with a conventional house for nesting.
